DEBBIE REYNOLDS ONCE HAD THE MOST IMPORTANT COLLECTION OF HOLLYWOOD MEMORABILIA EVER ASSEMBLED

For many decades, Debbie Reynolds dreamed of opening a Hollywood museum and through the years she amassed an enormous collection of movie costumes and memorabilia. She approached the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences several times and tried to convince them to join her in the project but they turned her down for some reason. Back in the 90’s Debbie opened a small costume museum in Las Vegas and invited us to see it. It was a movie fan’s dream and only hinted at the rest of her collection. Sadly her little museum went bankrupt and Debbie had most of her money invested in her collection. She had no choice and had to auction off two thirds of the collection. NOW the Academy announces they are building a Hollywood museum! Debbie COULD donate what’s left of her collection to the Academy but she won’t. She told the Hollywood Reporter that she was “hurt” by their earlier rebuffs. Shame on the Academy for not having the foresight to realize the importance of her collection!
(Avove, Debbie’s last two auctions)

Debbie Reynolds….thrilled to know her…thrilled to have witnessed her auctions….thrilled she wont give to the Academy. Is this the same Academy that edits the memorials on Oscar night .. keeping out wonderful Academy stars like Ed Lauter and Ernest Borgnine and Marvin Paige…..who is running the Academy now???? Shameful and poorly run. There I’ve said it.

Good for her. They were completely short sighted. Should have snapped that stuff up, they don’t make things like that any more,

Agree. The Academy Awards leave out a lot of people.

May all the costumes go to people who will care and treasure them.

This bad boy seems to have calmed down since he got serious about his former pornstar girlfriend and he has his friends wondering WHY. What’s so special about HER? We hear she keeps him satisfied by supplying her MALE porn costars for his entertainment. The bad boy pays each guy $5000 per visit so they are highly motivated to make him happy. It’s a family affair – the girlfriend watches while the bad boy fiddles around with the guys!
